2013 Toyota Avalon Price Starts at 34 000
In April, Toyota presented its new 2013 Toyota Avalon in New York, shortly, the sedan now comes at US dealerships.
The new Toyota Avalon comes in completely new outfit to the Toyota dealers in North America. Compared to its predecessor, which has raised above all an audience beyond the 65 years, he should inspire new younger people. A chic and dynamic sedan, which attracts sure younger customer segments with its Coupé-like lines became the totally conservative Avalon.
In addition to the stylish outfit, the Avalon got also a new interior with luxury highlights of plenty of. Depending on the model version there is for the large Toyota sedan a 6.1 "navigation system, air conditioned seats, 3-zone automatic air conditioning, a multimedia system, a JBL sound system with 11 speakers, the smart key and still plenty of other highlights."
An adaptive cruise control, a dead-angle-Warner, the rear provide for safer cross traffic alert, the in the backward out arrival approaching traffic warns, as well as a rear-view camera.
The motorization, a 3.5 litre customers can choose V6 and a hybrid version. The 3.5 liter V6 has 268 HP and accelerates the large Toyota in under 7 seconds from 0 to 100 km/h.

The Toyota Avalon hybrid can convince but with better efficiency, but behind the V6 with the performance. Hybrid, the Avalon is powered by a 2.5 litre 4-cylinder engine, which has a capacity of 156 HP. He is supported by a 143 HP electric motor, the performance is however only 200 hp.
The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h is done in about 8 seconds, the circuit via a CVT continuously variable transmission.
For the American driving conditions, the hybrid engine is also optimally matched, because you put Yes mostly long distances with a continuous, but not very brisk speed back.

Life begins at Classic Car Weekly
Its not every day you start as a writer for Classic Car Weekly, which is based down in Peterborough and published by Bauer Media, but thats exactly how the dream of getting up, driving gorgeous old cars and then getting paid to write about them, started this morning.
Ive already been entrusted with a series of motoring-related missions, including some stories which should, fingers crossed, be in next Wednesdays edition. All this on a day when Ive managed to get totally lost in the offices endless corridors and have only just discovered where the canteen is!
Ever since I learned to string "Range Rover" into a sentence Ive been pretty much obsessed with cars, especially older ones which make grunty noises when you put your foot down. For the past three years, my friends at The Champion have allowed me to indulge my automotive passions on the flimsiest of journalistic excuses - and dont worry, the weekly column WILL continue - but now Im a fully grown boy and I get to do what I love doing most of all for a living.
To say Im looking forward to giving these automotive adventures my alls a bit of an understatement.
Tomorrows assignment: drive an E-Type. No, really. One of my first assignments for Classic Car Weekly is to let you know what its like to get behind the wheel of a car Ive been itching to drive since I was ten years old.
Ill keep you posted...
Have you got a story for Classic Car Weekly youd like to share with David? Get in touch with him by sending an email to david.simister@classiccarweekly.co.uk or give him a call on 01733 468847.
